ꙮ The World Inverted ꙮ

i think "[sic]" is one of the funniest things of literature. like yeah this guy really wrote it out like that

For the uninitiated, you write [sic]—literally "this" or "so" in latin—to indicate that you haven't altered the wording or spelling. While it can be used to preserve a joke misspelling (aminals) or indicate that you know it looks weird (the Toronto Maple Leafs), it is also the most biting three letters that you can throw at a motherfucker who should know better.

We use this in court reporting!!!!! It’s short had for “No, this is not a typo on my part. That lawyer really did say that.”

Always thought it just meant "Spelled InCorrectly" but this is so much funnier.

I hate this new use of the word LARPer, what does the noble Live-Action Role Play have to do with all this?

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

one of my favourite human songs-and-dances is when someone notices someone else is lying and, for no particular reason besides love of the game, helps them get away with the lie without ever explicitly acknowledging they noticed. nightmare social animals.
